is written in A in the manner allowing for various interpretations. However, it seems that had Chopin wanted it to be binding from bar 11 onwards, he would not have put it in so early. The notation of A suggests that relates to the syncopated octave f2-f3. This interpretation is confirmed by analogous phrases, particularly the clear notation of bars 42 and 112.
